Jitish Kallat
45.7 x 58.4 cm each
On the face of it ‘Death of Distance’ isolates two specific found narratives and the emblematic form of the coin, to interrogate the specifics of a nation that lives many realities simultaneously. The more veiled intention of the work would be to probe the notion of perception and how the individual’s subject position defines a world-view,
subtly realized here, through the movement of the viewer’s body that makes the two distant worlds collide and penetrate each other.
